      Description says it plays then in the normal video screen. Don’t see the point, maybe someone can fill me in.

        Shorts are weird. They don’t respond to keyboard controls like K for play/pause, arrow keys to scrub and change volume, you can’t actually scrub at all. I’m pretty sure you can’t see what channel posted them or when? Play them in the regular window and voila, normals ass YouTube video. Just short.

          Youtube’s default player will now resize the viewport depending on the aspect ratio of the content, so I suspect it would do the same for vertical video
